Chapter 6: The Eastern Plain
I came to the Eastern Plain to find plants for my farm. The monsters that appear here are weak, and the field is suitable for beginners. As soon as I reached the Plain, I noticed a green marker. Hidden among the bushes is a poisonous purple-colored plant.
A poisonous plant.
The color looks scary, but I wonder if it's safe to touch it. So I carefully appraise that plant.
Name: Poisonous plant
Rarity: 1 Quality: ★ 1
Effect: Low probability poisonous effect on the person who consumed it.
It seems to be safe to touch. The effect of this plant is small, but if it is mixed into a poisonous potion, it can be used for many things. I think it would be useful if I can grow this too. I walk carefully to avoid running into monsters.
"Oh! It's a paralysis plant!
A few minutes later, I found a yellow-leaved plant that resembled a dandelion. This is another kind of plant that could be used for mixing, the paralysis plant.
Name: Paralysis Plant
Rarity: 1 Quality: ★ 1
Effect: Low chance of paralysis to the person who consumed it.
Thanks to my mixing and cooking skills, I have acquired eight mixing recipes. The eight recipes include Potion, Wound medicine, Handheld Food, Hunting Medicine, Poison, Paralysis Medicine, Honey dumpling, and Salad.
It is possible to mix your own ingredients to make potions without a recipe, but there is a risk of failure. On the other hand, auto production using a recipe had the advantage of a 100% success rate, although the quality is lower.
Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but I prefer to mix my own ingredients and develop new recipes. It will be more fun that way.
The next thing I found was a wooden stick that didn't even have a green marker on it. So basically, you can collect anything in this game. However, if it doesn't have any special effects, no green marker will appear.
This one caught my attention because of its staff-like shape. I'm empty-handed now. I want something to use as a weapon if possible.
"Can't I use it as a staff?"
Name: Wooden Stick
Rarity: 1 Quality: ★ 1 Durability: 30
Effect: Attack power +1, Restore durability is not possible
Weight: 1
I was able to equip it. Well, I guess it's better than nothing. It's really just for peace of mind.
30 minutes later.
As I ran across the plain, I bent down for a moment and plucked some plants from under my feet. This was the sixth item I had gathered.
"Huff huff! It's medicinal plant again!"
"Gyuuuu!"
"Uwaaa. Danger!"
A giant rat jumped at me. Not a guinea pig, a Djungarian, or a cute mascot from dreamland, but a very real and creepy rat. The kind you find in a sewer. Moreover, its size is like a medium-sized dog.
"Take this! This!"
"Juju"
"Did you laugh just now? Damn it!"
I fight with a wooden stick, but I can't hit it at all. Aargh! I can't hit it! Even though I'm using the staff martial arts, the Heavy Swing. That fast mouse easily dodges my attacks.
"Though it just a small fry monster! A small fry!"
"Gyuuu!"
"Uogh"
The bastard rammed me in the stomach. I still can feel that furball's fluffiness. It took about 10% of my HP.
The rat hunting me down is known as the weakest monster in the LJO, the Fang Rat. But, to be honest, it is a small fry monster. And I'm about to be killed by it. So yeah, I guess that means I'm no better than a small fry monster.
I've already sold off my armor, and I'm a rearguard with the lowest strength. Well, paper durability is the right word to describe me.
"Urya!"
"Kyuru!"
"I hit it!"
However, his HP bar was only reduced by about 20%.
"I have no choice but to run away!"
The taming also didn't work at all!
I dashed away again. The fanged rat is chasing me, but I run in a zigzag pattern and manage to keep it off my target. My eyes kept looking at the ground, searching for plants.
I'd like to praise myself for my stubbornness. Right before the fang rat killed me, I slid in, grabbed the plant, and fell down. After that, I felt like I was floating and came back to the square where I started.
"...... Revival completed."
I don't regret it. It was going as planned. I really don't regret it! So forget about the regret, for the time being. Let's take a look at the last plant I got.
Name: Youmei plant.
Rarity: 1 Quality: ★ 1
Effect: Material for making potions. Restores 1% of fullness.
It's a potion ingredient. I'm pretty happy about this. I already know that I can grow medicinal plants, and if I can grow this plant, I'll be 1 step closer to mass-producing potions.
Chatter chatter.
Oops, apparently revival is rare, so everyone is staring at me. Well, I would also stare at a person who returns from death on his/her first day.
I hurriedly left the square. It's okay. This is how I do it. It's only five minutes walk from the plaza to the field. It's very close and convenient.
"Orto, I'm back. Here are some souvenirs."
"Muumu!"
"How's it going? Can you grow it?"
"Mu! Muumuumumuu."
I gave him the poisonous plant, the paralysis plant, and the youmei plant. I gave one of each to him. Then, Ort turned them into seeds one by one.
"Oh, well done Orto."
"Mummu."
"But it already looks like a perfect farm."
While I was gathering the plants, within 1 hour, Orto had finished plowing the farm. The empty field is now covered with well-formed rows.
"Muumu."
Orto poked holes in the rows and sowed the seeds. The sprouts came out instantly.
Normally, it takes 1 to 4 days for the seeds to sprout. It seems to take 1 to 10 days to fully grow. But with this speed, maybe we can harvest them in a day? If that's the case, harvesting every day is not a dream. That's so cool. I'm getting excited.
"Orto, I'll leave the farm to you!"
"Mu!"
I'm back to stock up. Next, I want something slightly rarer.
But first, I'll need to get some recovery items.
If I have some way to recover, I can explore for a little longer. But I don't have any money, so I'll have to prepare them myself.
I decided to use my mixing skills to turn the four medicinal herbs I had gathered into wound medicine. While Orto is working, I get some water from the well. Then, by following the system's instructions, I put the herbs and water into the bowl that came with the simple mixing set and began to mix them together.
It's really a simple process. There's no need for magic. After a few dozen times of mixing, the medicinal herbs turned into a paste. When I poured magic into it, the mortar glowed slightly. Then, with a cute popping sound, the wound medicine is ready.
The medicine is wrapped in a paper package. Where did this paper come from? Oh well, now the wound medicine is ready.
Name: Wound Medicine.
Rarity: 1 Quality: ★ 1
Effect: Restores 10 points of HP. Cooldown time: 10 minutes.
This recovery item is lower than the lower-level potions. The quality is the lowest, but it's good enough for me.
"Okay, let's go."
My next stop is the Western Forest. Like the eastern plain, this place is suitable for beginners.
But first, I need to gather information. I forgot to do this, and it ended badly. It's important. Just to be safe, I am going to the Farming Guild. I wonder how many times I've been there today alone.
In-game time is around 5pm. If I waste too much time, the night will come. The number of monsters increases at night. And they seem to attack in packs. A poor boy like me probably will be killed instantly. Moreover, it's hard to find plants in the dark, and nothing good will ever happen.
" I must finish searching before the night comes."

Translator note:
Djungarian hamster
Also known as the winter white dwarf hamster (Phodopus sungorus), Russian dwarf hamster, striped dwarf hamster, Siberian hamster, or Siberian dwarf hamster, is one of three species of hamster in the genus Phodopus. It is ball-shaped and typically half the size of the Syrian hamster, so it is called a dwarf hamster along with all Phodopus species.
